Avatar - Introduced a whole new level of visual technology and CGI and also helped catalyze the use of 3D technology in mainstream cinema

Thanks for the info guys, I think I understand it a lot better haha The only problem that I have with manual white balancing is that I don't have one of them neutral grey cards or whatever they're called. I've tried using just a white sheet of paper but I don't know whether that has worked at...

What white balance setting should the camera be set to if a tungsten light has a CTB gel over it, should it be set to tungsten (3200k) or around 5200k, or even just AWB. If so, or if not, why is this? Or in this circumstance would manual white balancing be better? Sorry if I sound a bit...

Oh I see! That is a great idea, that could definitely work out cheers man, ive got a friend who animates, im sure he'll be able to do a good job, thanks again

Surely the most important question here is what will the degree get you in terms of jobs? I'm sure you learn a hell of a lot from film school and can really boost your skills, and equip you with the right knowledge and skills, but what I am interested in is that is there anyone here who has...

Do you mean have the video in form of live action? Also the game I was thinking of using was GTA, or anything similar to GTA, even something like sims could work. If there is no way of identifying what the game is, could I still get away with having a branded game?

I am thinking of having a scene in which the main character can be seen playing a video game, and for it to work it is vital for the game to be shown. Now what complications can this have? If the actual title of the game cannot be seen, would I need permission to use it? If the footage is of a...

So the location im shooting on has quite a few squeaky wooden floor as you walk on it, I fear that this will be picked up during some dialog scenes where this is a small bit of walking. The floor wont be in shot for most shots,, so whats the best way of going about quieting this sound? placing a...

im more looking for darkness behind the subject, so would it be better to pop into a few fabric shops and have a browse?

cheers guys, just found this on ebay, quite nice and cheap...

I'm looking for an inexpensive, non-reflective black material to use as a backdrop for a scene in my short, I've heard good things about muslin, velcro and velour, but material is the most opaque and of course the cheapest?

For a first short, that was really good man! Found it a bit slow at the start but after the briefing bit, i enjoyed it! I think there was a bit of problem with the lighting in some scenes, eg in the scene where they are watching TV, some shorts are a lot brighter or darker than others. Just...

Alcove, I'm thinking of getting 'Sound Design: The Expressive Power of Music, Voice and Sound Effects in Cinema by David Sonnenschein' Would you be able to enlighten me with the contents of the book? Does it give tips on how to capture sound/best ways to to get the best quality in dialog scenes...

I dont have much experience with consumer steadicam products, only with my own DIY projects, but it depends entirely on what type of shot you want and what you want out of the rig, eg the cage ones would be better if you wanted attachments for mic, light, viewfinder etc. If you're looking for a...

Great tips, priceless info here, I'll definitely be following these when i start shooting, dont take advantage of the crew is the top one for me!

Hey guys, when do you plan on starting to shoot, providing all the funding goes through? :)
